389 Suspicion
Every word “Lu Qianqian” said was like torture to Xiao Ming. He knew that what he feared the most had come.
Now, he only hoped that Qiao An and Xiaoran could resist the pressure from all sides and successfully complete the mission.
...“Lu Qianqian” spoke for a long time, but Xiao Ming did not respond. She roughly pinched his chin and forced him to look into her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “Xiao Ming, that small amount of poison won’t cause you so much damage at all. Huo Xiaoran is just covering for you. Tell me where the list is. You know that the list is determined. If you don’t cooperate, Qiao An will be implicated next.”
Xiao Ming still didn’t react.
“Lu Qianqian” finally let him go.
“You’ve really become useless.”
“Lu Qianqian” could not get anything out of him and left angrily.
Xiao Ming’s curled toes relaxed.
At this moment, Huo Xiaoran brought the Xiao family in to visit Xiao Ming. When Father Xiao saw Xiao Ming’s ghastly appearance, he said bitterly, “Xiao Ming, why did you go astray? Why?”
Huo Xiaoran saw helpless despair in Xiao Ming’s eyes and seemed to realize that Lu Qianqian had done something bad to Xiao Ming. He suddenly walked over and lifted the blanket.
Xiao Ming’s toes were mangled from the force of his curling and squeezing.
When Mr. Xiao and Grandpa Xiao saw his toes, they looked at each other. They knew very well that this was the reaction of a person when they had endured to the limit.
“Xiaoran, who was here just now?”
Huo Xiaoran deliberately leaked it to them. “Miss Lu came.”
Mr. Xiao and Grandpa Xiao were slightly stunned.
“Xiao Ming, what did Qianqian tell you?”
Huo Xiaoran stopped Mr. Xiao. “Xiao Ming’s nervous system is damaged. He might have a little consciousness, but he will never give you any reaction. It’s useless to ask.”
Mr. Xiao nodded.
Mr. Xiao and Grandpa Xiao left in disappointment.
Although the two of them did not say anything, Lu Qianqian had sown doubts in their hearts.
In the car, Old Master Xiao asked his son with a dark expression, “Go and investigate what happened between Lu Qianqian and Xiao Ming.”
Mr. Xiao said, “Yes.”
When the car drove to Heavenly Imperial Garden and around the kindergarten road, the Xiao father and son saw Qiao An walking out of the kindergarten happily with the three children.
Beside Qiao An stood a few valiant bodyguards. One could tell from their figures that they were well-trained.
Mr. Xiao was very surprised. “Qiao An brought the children home early. What the hell is she doing?”
Old Master Xiao said, “Qiao An is cunning, but Qianqian seems to be very mysterious. It seems that there will be a good show at Heavenly Imperial Garden soon.”
Mr. Xiao looked at his father. “Dad, do you think there’s something wrong with Qianqian too?”
The old man said, “There’s always something wrong with either Qianqian or Qiao An. It’s just that we have to use our fiery eyes to distinguish their true colors.”
Mr. Xiao’s face darkened. “I believe Qianqian. After all, we watched Qianqian grow up.”
The old man looked at him. “Don’t be dominated by personal feelings. Do you remember when Qianqian and Qiao An first met? The two of them seemed calm, but they were actually filled with hostiliy. Qiao An questioning the scar on Qianqian’s face was a little far-fetched…”
Mr. Xiao said, “Dad, does that mean you’re starting to suspect Qianqian too?”
Old Master Xiao shook his head. “I shouldn’t have suspected her, but when I saw the state of Xiao Ming’s toes today, I was a little shaken.”
Mr. Xiao smiled and said, “Dad, you’re thinking too much. In my opinion, Qianqian should have interrogated Xiao Ming. who was unwilling to cooperate. Qianqian was probably anxious and uses some tricks. But this is understandable. Although Qianqian and Xiao Ming are a couple, they are also enemies. It’s normal for Qianqian to be fierce to her enemies.”
The old man said, “You have a point, but something doesn’t feel right.”
At this moment, Qiao An walked over with the children. Old Master Xiao ordered the driver, “Stop the car.” Then he slid down the window.
When Qiao An saw the Xiao father and son, she quickly pulled Joey in front of her and said, “Hurry up and address Grandpa and Uncle.”
Joey obediently and sweetly bowed to Old Master Xiao and Father Xiao. “Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandpa.”
Angel and Ki Ki cried out too.
The two elders looked at the three adorable babies before their gazes finally landed on Joey’s face.
While Angel and Ki Ki shared a face, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and small faces, Joey’s single-eye-lids and phoenix eyes were especially striking.
Joey looked exactly like Xiao Ming. Old Master Xiao’s expression was very dark.
He’d heard rumors of Qiao An and Xiao Ming’s relationship. But he didn’t believe Xiao Ming would betray Qianqian.
Now that he saw Joey, he had to believe the rumors.
“Qiao An, I heard that she’s Xiao Ming’s daughter?” The old man cut to the chase.
Qiao An smiled. “Grandpa Xiao, you’re really good at joking. How can I give birth to two men’s children at the same time?”
With that, Qiao An handed him a sly smile. Then she left with the children.
Old Master Xiao thought about Qiao An’s words repeatedly on the way home. Finally, it dawned on him. “Joey is Xiao Ming’s daughter, but she’s not Qiao An’s daughter. If I’m not wrong, Joey is the child of Xiao Ming and another woman.”
Mr. Xiao said resentfully, “Hmph, she must be a bastard born when Xiao Ming was fooling around outside. He also knows that our Xiao family will never acknowledge her identity, so he doesn’t dare to bring her home. He entrusted her to Qiao An.”
The old man said, “That child is really cute.”
Mr. Xiao said, “Dad, you can’t ignore Xiao Ming’s mistake just because she’s cute. This guy had a child out of wedlock. It’s a scandal.”
The old man sighed heavily.
The Xiao family’s matters were complicated, and the Li family was in trouble again.
After Li Zecheng heard that his mother had been expelled from the Li family by his father, he rushed back to the Li family overnight.
However, things had changed.
What used to be his mother’s room was now occupied by an outsider.
Li Zecheng looked at his father and stepmother fooling around in his mother’s room and immediately felt his blood boil.
When Li Tingfeng and the other woman saw Li Zecheng, they were clearly stunned.
“Zecheng, why didn’t you knock before entering?” Li Tingfeng reprimanded his son as he put on his clothes.
Li Zecheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Get lost.”
It was unknown if this shout was directed at Li Tingfeng or that mistress.
“Zecheng, how can you be so rude to your elders?” Li Tingfeng scolded.
Li Zecheng said, “You have three minutes to get out of my mother’s room. Otherwise, I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
